The Standing Wheelbarrow

The standing wheelbarrow is one of the more challenging positions on the menu. It requires a good deal of strength and coordination, and should probably be left to the more athletic couples. For those looking for a fun and sexy challenge, though, it should prove memorable. A rear-entry position, it will likely remind many men and women of the tried-and-true doggystyle position, only with a demanding twist.

The Standing Wheelbarrow Sex Position

The Standing Wheelbarrow description

To achieve the standing wheelbarrow, the woman should first get on all fours on a bed or other raised surface. She can lower her head and shoulders onto a pillow for support, if desired, while keeping her buttocks elevated. Next, the man moves into position behind her, gets down on his knees on the bed, and initiates penetration. Everything is easy up to this point, but now its time for the challenge to begin. The man grips the woman securely by her ankles and slowly begins to stand up, on leg at a time, while keeping his penis in his partner’s vagina. Once the man is standing up, he begins to thrust in and out.

This position requires lots of strength and physical dexterity on the part of the male partner, both to get into the position and then to maintain it for any length of time. He is supporting the majority of the woman’s body weight with his arms the entire time. For this reason, the standing wheelbarrow is a particularly good position for couples in which the man is very muscular and in-shape and/or the woman is particularly small and petite.

While the standing wheelbarrow probably won’t replace old standards like cowgirl, doggystyle and missionary in most couple’s sex position lineup, it’s a good choice when you want to try something unique and out of the ordinary. Many couples also report that it provides particularly deep and satisfying penetration.
